Την Δευτέρα 22 Ιουνίου 2015 δόθηκε ομιλία από την Prof. Marielle Christiansen, Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway.

Τίτλος ομιλίας: Optimization of Maritime Transportation.

Περίληψη ομιλίας:
In this presentation, we will give a short introduction to the shipping industry and an overview of some OR-focused planning problems within maritime transportation. Examples from several real ship routing and scheduling cases, elements of models and solution methods will be given. Finally, we present some trends regarding future developments and use of OR-based decision support systems for ship routing and scheduling.

Λίγα λόγια για την εισηγήτρια:
Prof. Marielle Christiansen works on Operations Research at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Her primary research interests concern development and implementation of optimization models and methods for industry related planning problems as regards transportation, logistics and production. She is particularly interested in applications where maritime supply chain challenges are considered and has been involved in a number of shipping industry – sponsored projects. 

In 1996, she completed her doctoral thesis in Operations Research, entitled: ”Inventory and time constrained ship routing – a mathematical programming approach”. The underlying planning problem was based upon a real problem at Norsk Hydro ASA. She was awarded the Essos research prize for outstanding work within applied research for her doctoral thesis. 

Her research within maritime transportation has resulted in numerous papers in journals like Computers and Operations Research, European Journal of Operational Research, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Naval Research and Logistics, OMEGA, Networks, Transportation Research part C as well as Transportation Science. For a maritime inventory routing paper focusing on strong formulations and valid inequalities, she and her co-authors received the Glover-Klingman Prize for the best paper published in Networks in 2013. Furthermore, she has contributed with several surveys within maritime transport optimization in general and within combined inventory management and routing and fleet composition and routing in particular. 

She has been involved in the organization of several international conferences as the TRISTAN VII (Triennial symposium on transportation analysis), Tromsø, Norway, 2010 and the EURO-XXIV Conference, Lisbon, Portugal, July 2010 (program committee). Further, she was the chair of the Program Committee for EURO-XXV Conference, Vilnius, Lithuania, July 2012. Last year, she has been involved in the organization of the VeRoLog (Vehicle Routing and Logistics Optimization) conference in Oslo.
